Nearest underground station is Farringdon.

Another strand of the role is ensuring that we are acquiring new users as effectively as possible through PR efforts.

At MyBuilder we fully believe in the power of great content. Our consumer users need expert help and advice on choosing and working with tradesmen, which is not currently easy to get. What’s more, homeowners across the UK are actively searching the internet for this sort of content, so it’s a huge opportunity for us to drive more relevant traffic to MyBuilder.com and a key part of the role. With several dozen trade categories on MyBuilder, creating high quality content on several topics in each category is a significant undertaking. We currently have a full time writer and photographer that you will manage and we will continue to expand the team over time.

Acting as the key point of contact for media in the UK, you will build relations with key media to secure coverage online, in print and broadcast, securing coverage that connects MyBuilder with our target audience.

Who you are:

The right candidate, first and foremost, will be an outstanding story teller. You will be able to engage people on any topic you choose. You will also genuinely believe in what we are doing at MyBuilder. And you will have the skills to help us get to the next level: we want you to join us on the path to becoming the clear market leader and a household name.

You will also need to be a fast learner, work hard, manage others effectively and have the grit required to see things through.
